Product Description

Watch animals spring, soar, swim, and gallop across the page with Gallop!—an interactive book that brings optical science to life.

Created by inventor and filmmaker Rufus Butler Seder, this innovative book uses Scanimation, a six-phase animation technique that combines striped acetate overlays with the scientific principle of persistence of vision to create the illusion of movement. Turn the pages to see a horse gallop, turtle swim, dog run, cat leap, eagle soar, and butterfly flutter in this fascinating blend of optical illusion, kinetic art, and visual science. A captivating hands-on experience for curious kids, animal lovers, and anyone fascinated by how our eyes and brains perceive motion.

Gallop! recommended for ages 3-10.

Boardbook, 12 pages.
